right now, not they least of which is the health of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. During Thursday Night Football last week, Tagovailoa hit his head on the turf as he was sacked, a situation similar to the previous Sunday’s game when Tagovailoa’s head hit the ground and he stumbled as he got back to his feet. Initially believed to have a concussion after the Sunday impact, Tagovailoa was cleared to return to that game after halftime with the injury determined to be a back injury and not a head issue.
Four days later, after being sacked, Tagovailoa was taken off the field on a stretcher and was taken to the hospital with an obvious concussion.
